Where's the GUILD? There's the GUILD!
Another Where's the GUILD question.
I've wondered why USA businesses didn't have a GUILD or UNION response to Bezos. He buys up entire industries and kills them. There is never an ORGANIZED counterforce, never any resistance or attempted survival. Bezos just keeps killing and killing and killing.
Still no answer to the question in USA, but a beautiful answer in India. What happens when small businesses HAVE A UNION?
Via RT:
Jeff Bezos should not count on a red carpet welcome in India when he arrives in New Delhi later this week, with mass rallies and sit-ins being planned by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), protesting what it calls “predatory” trade practices. The CAIT, which represents 70 million small traders and businesses, has called on its supporters to go on strike on Wednesday, when Bezos is set to touch down.70 million businesses will go on strike. That's a meaningful GUILD. In the dim past, Chambers of Commerce and mutual benefit associations were able to ORGANIZE against unwanted monopolies, though they never exerted their bullyforce at this level, never actually called a strike.
